October MK Job Show postponed due to pandemic

The organisers of MK Job Show have decided to postpone the October 2020 event due to the pandemic.

Event director, Mike Bickerdike said: “While we know this is disappointing, we hope you understand this is a necessary step to keep Milton Keynes safe. With the government restrictions on social gatherings to stop the spread of COVID-19, we feel it wouldn’t be responsible to host the MK Job Show at this time.”

The show plans to return next year on April 16 and 17 at centre:mk.

And in the meantime, organisers have launched an online jobs board showcasing employment and training opportunities in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area – MKJobs.co.uk.

Marketing manager, Deanne Stevens, said: “Sadly due to the pandemic, many people have found themselves in a position they never thought they would be in, which is why it is more important than ever for us to step up and help Milton Keynes get back to work. It is truly fantastic to see the number of candidates applying for vacancies and the new opportunities businesses are posting every day.”

Also, during September and October, employers can post their vacancies on MKJobs.co.uk free for employers to post their vacancies throughout September and October. Contact [email protected] to redeem the offer.
